Now over halfway through the 2020 NRL season, we've had some superstar performances from the usual culprits, seen incredible rookies emerge and other players develop.

Below is a list of the top 10 NRL improvers of 2020.

These are players who have either reached their potential or look like completely different players from their 2018/2019 selves.

Rookies won't be considered, i.e Harry Grant due to not playing NRL last season, while players such as George Williams will also be left out due to the difference in competition.

These are players who have improved dramatically in the past season or two.

Let us know below if you agree with our list or if we left anyone out.

5. Sione Katoa (Sharks)

The Sharks flyer has gone from Newtown star to Sharks superstar in the matter of 13 NRL games in 2020. He currently tops the NRL top try scorers list with 12, including some highlight reel finishes that have to be seen to be believed.

10 line breaks and an incredible 65 tackle breaks show just how hard opposition teams need to work to contain the young flyer.

Although flashy, his work has improved elsewhere as well. His average metres are up over 20 per game, with his workload in the Sharks danger zone rising sharply. Not only can he score some ridiculous tries but he's not afraid to put his hand up for difficult hit ups.

The 2020 Sione Katoa is set for a big bump in salary when it comes time to renew his contract. Safe to say that 2019 Katoa wouldn't be in such a position.
